Title: Sturdy, cost friendly, and works great!
Review: Since I have a MSI system, I went this controller, which has been amazing. I highly recommend for any PC gamer still wanting to use a controller. My last controller would constantly have conflict with Steam settings, but this was a simple plug and play device via a USB cord. I have used it on multiple games, and it works great, has a very intense rumble option, is super cost effective, and just super durable. I have dropped it twice, but it is solid. A must buy for any gamer.

Title: Great value for the money
Review: This is a great quality controller that I use with a PC. It feels great in the hand and the features all work as they should. Buttons do not stick and are responsive.

Title: A solid controller, but only with the luck of the draw.
Review: This controller is quite a gamble. I have seen people use ones where the joysticks and D-Pad are perfect, the best pros. Others where the D-Pad can only move four directions no matter how hard you press on the diagonals. Another where the joysticks have Cardinal Snapping. And the worst offender being both of the cons together.I am part of the third group, where the D-Pad is really good with moving all directions with ease. It is my go-to for 2D overhead titles and arguably on par with the Saturn 2D par and 6-button Mega Drive controller. But for the joysticks, I could not be any more unhappy. They have obvious Cardinal Snapping which makes it difficult to aim in FPS games and move around diagonally.I have only used the controller in top form because a friend let me use theirs for a minute. It was very nice and was hoping mine had the same joysticks and D-Pad. But unfortunately, that luck has been weak. The first time I ever got it, the joysticks and D-Pad were bad. Then the second time, only the joysticks. I might try one more time to see if I get both good joysticks and D-Pad, but I won't hold my breath.Other than that, everything else is fine. Buttons are great, analog triggers feel nice and firm and the grip is very comfortable. Only minor criticism is it going with Micro USB Instead of USB-C for the cable port, but that is not a huge problem. Battery life is also very solid, for sure lasting on even the longest of marathons. Despite my complaints, I heavily recommend this controller.

Title: works great, only one complaint
Review: Love the MSI controller, best one I've used so far.PROs:It works right out of the box. no setup or fighting with any hidden settings or connections to get it to work.It stays connected during useIt even has a power save mode that will shut it off after not being used for a while which made me panic the first time as my last controller was a nightmare to get reconnected.The USB dongle that it comes with makes it so much easier to use and reconnecting is an absolute dream.Just push the center dragon logo button and boom, it wakes up and instantly reconnects.CONs:This one is very minor, sometimes one of the buttons makes a slight squeak sound from my finger sliding across the super smooth button surface.Seriously that is my only complaint so far.I've used it for Phasmophobia, Mortal Kombat 11, Hollow Cocoon, over the past week or so since I got it and it is fantastic. It is so nice to have a wireless controller that actually connects and has a decent range (I've not found a limit to it yet, I can play at a comfortable relaxed distance from my desk.Final thoughts, I love it, and highly recommend this MSI controller.I think some complaints were about needing the USB dongle and needing to carry two things with you if you bring it somewhere with you, but honestly having it makes this such a better controller to use. A serious improvement to quality of life in my opinion.

Title: Great controller for the money.
Review: 1 month review. This controller is used mostly on PC but some times on my Atari 400 mini. Overall this feels alittle cheap but it is holding up great. Battery life seems to be very good as well. After 14 hours of game play, it looks like its still nearly fully charged. Very responsive, I dont feel any reaction delays, and the magnetic D pad is a nice fidget toy. Most of my game play is racing on my pc, then just simple Atari games on the Mini 400. For the money this is a great controller and I am planning on getting a couple more later on for my kids to use on their computers.

Title: Defective left joystick
Review: I read about this controller and seen some great reviews and I wanted something wireless. The controller was on sale and I was excited to use it. I have been using a corded GameStop Xbox 360 controller for years and was looking to replace it with something of the same feel. This controller felt great and worked really well at first. I don't get much time to game so this worked great for me. about a week ago, the left stick developed a dead zone. Every time I would try to move my character would stop moving or if I tried to dodge, I would not dodge the way I wanted. I ended up having to go back to an old controller. I have only had the controller for 7 months and maybe only used it for about 100 hours if I am being generous. I could not have used this controller so much as to wear it out that quickly. I have put thousands of hours into other controllers over the years without the sticks going bad. I reached out to get a replacement (not a refund) from MSI and they pointed at Amazon. Amazon pointed at the seller. The seller told me they can not do anything as it's past 30 days. So now I am stuck with a controller with a manufacturer issue. If you are looking for a controller that lasts a long time, look somewhere else.

Title: Not high quality
Review: Had it for 3 months and the dongle stopped working and then the left thumb stick started spinning and eventually went limp and wouldn't leave the right side position. It worked with the USB cord attached and plugged into my PC for a while until the joystick died. Overall its a fair product from a motherboard company I trust, I just don't trust any products other than that.

Review: Es un control de calidad óptima para su costo. El único detalle es que los gatillos rb y lb se sienten muy débiles y distintos al resto del control. Además, la caja llegó sumamente golpeada, sin embargo el control no tiene ningún detalle

Review: I was skeptical at first because of the price and shape of the controller (looks so much like a 360 controller) and after I busted my elite 2 I really needed a controller with precise joy sticks and triggers but nothing I bought matched up until I found this one for the price it doesn't get any better and as Matter of fact if this controller had remapable back buttons or paddles it would be PERFECT! but even without, the comfort and precision of this controller made the switch from the elite 2 very easy. Games are enjoyable as ever and the buttons are also very responsive and have a good feed back also have a strong rumble and the wireless connection works flawlessly the moment the dongle was plugged and I pushed the msi button it connected within a fraction of second and strong stable connection trough and trough! Overall very satisfied and impressed! If you're looking for a good budget controller don't look any further this is the one you want!Edit: don't get this controller joy sticks are shit it doesn't drift instead it feels lile the sticks are not reaching at full in certain area I tried recalibration nothing worked and it got worst and worst the more I was trying to fix it

Review: Just as good as the xb360 controller. Added benefits over the xb360 controller are:-cooler looking (subjective I know)-built in battery, quick charge time-charging cord doubles as wired controller if your battery dies-comes with dpad alternate padFor the money, this thing works wonders. Will use this to slowly replace all my current controllers over time.
